Kid’s Bedding – Three Tips When Buying Linen For Your Childrens Bedroom
Planning your kids room or nursery should be fun, but there is more to it than simply making it look good.
I have two boys and they have taught me more about kids than any book ever could.
1. Be Practical – Pretty, coloured, embroidered fabrics are unlikely to fair well with either stain remover or hot washes.
So why would you want to boil your kids sheets? Unfortunately high fevers in children can cause other symptoms such as nose bleeds, vomiting and bed wetting. After any of these you will want to ensure that the bed linen is washed on a sixty plus heat (after plenty of soaking and scrubbing).
2. Looking Good – Children have hectic days, and they earn a calm nights sleep. When you check on them at night it is lovely to see them in an attractive bedding set. You may not want to see Spiderman, a Power Ranger, or even Barbie looking back at you from the bed linen.
3. Keep It Affordable – if you spend a lot of money on an item it is often more upsetting if it gets ruined. It’s true that you need to teach you children to respect things, but some situations are unavoidable. For example, if you child has a nose bleed at night (an all too often occurrence in our house) you don’t want to be worrying about the bedding, equally you don’t want them to be upset about ruining the bedding.
If your child is still at the age when they wet the bed it is worth buying bet mats. Pampers have a very good design, it is very absorbent and unlike plastic sheets, it doesnt crinkle and the kids are not even aware of its presence.
So how many kid’s bedding sets do you need? It is easy to get carried away and buy more than you need. In reality you only need two sets, one to be on the bed while the other is washed. If you are buying different designs, it is worth keeping them similar so that you can mix and match if the need arises.
